Friendship
Emerson states is that there are two distinct elements which "go to the composition
of friendship," . The first is sincerity and the second is tenderness.
"we can scarce believe that so much character can subsist in another as to draw us
by love."
Emerson then states that "One is Truth," . By making this sentence short, Emerson
gives it absolute power. It can been argued that by making this sentence longer, it
would lose meaning and effect therefore Emerson was on point by making it short
and straight to the point.
